Well I started the weight loss because I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes last september along with high cholestrol and high blood pressure. So I was put on Metformin for the diabetes, Crestor for the cholestrol, Benicar and Tekturna for blood pressure. Went to the doctor yesterday with 50 lbs of weight loss and all my numbers were perfect. BP was 118 over 60, glucose was 95, A1C was 5.5, cholestrol was great, etc, etc.....

So the doc took me off all the meds and I will be back for another check up in 2 months. I hope my diet and excercise program will keep me off all the meds. I only have 12 lbs to go to meet my original goal but I plan to keep excercising so I may exceed my goal which would be great.

Thanks for all the help from the folks on this site. Just goes to prove that with some hard work and proper eating being healthy is not that hard.

    Thank you...Thank you...Thank you...for posting this Wonderful News!! I have had high blood pressure for 12 yrs, Type 2 diabetes for 5 yrs and recently learned I have too low a count on my good cholestrol levels! Before I started Myfitnesspal, less than 27 days ago and 11 pounds lighter...I thought about going for a Lapband procedure. I was so despreate to find a way to stop taking all the medicine and get my health back! Now, I'm so thankful for Myfitnesspal and the community of friends I've found there.
